Passing Fancy

May 5, 1986

D'Lites of America Inc.'s specialty of fast health food may be just another fad. In recent weeks, the company has closed restaurants in Orlando, Casselberry, Miami, Baton Rouge and Lafayette, La. The restaurants were not profitable, said Bliss Jones, vice president of finance at D'Lites' Atlanta headquarters. Jones is negotiating with potential buyers interested in the Orlando restaurant on East Colonial Drive, he said. Seven restaurants in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area and two in Daytona Beach will remain open, he said.
